Preamble

The following example shows how a callback function can be used to format a particular row at draw time. For each row that is generated for display, the fnRowCallback function is called. It is passed the row node which can then be modified and returned. In this case the CSS grade for the browser is appended to the row's class name ('odd' or 'even').

Live example

Initialisation code

$(document).ready(function() {
	$('#example').dataTable( {
		"fnRowCallback": function( nRow, aData, iDisplayIndex ) {
			/* Append the grade to the default row class name */
			nRow.className = nRow.className + aData[4];
			return nRow;
		},
		"aoData": [ 
			/* Engine */   null,
			/* Browser */  null,
			/* Platform */ null,
			/* Version */  { "sClass": "center" },
			/* Grade */    { "sClass": "center" }
		]
	} );
} );
